CTSC:ARRA:Mockup

Back to CTSC ARRA Supplement

Goals

The mockup installation allows the development team to conduct experiments outside of the clinical network environment.

Implementation

A set of virtual machine instances on the Amazon Web Services infrastructure allow our work to happen outside of the institutional firewalls. This minimizes the risk security issues on the clinical networks and allows developers to have control over server allocation, firewall rules, IP addresses, and similar issues that would otherwise require interaction with clinical IS staffs.

Servers

CentOS 64 bit linux is the standard OS used in this project (compatible with i2b2 standard usage).

Contact a mi2b2 researcher for username and password information for these servers.

PACS

The dcm4chee software allows implementation of basic PACS functionality.

The mi2b2 project provides instructions for installation on CentOS 64 bit linux.

The server can be accessed at: http://mi2b2.slicer.org:8080/dcm4chee-web/

This server is being populated by phantom datasets and anonymized generic data.

i2b2

• Webclient: An instance of i2b2 is installed at this address: http://i2b2.slicer.org/webclient
• Workbench:
  • Download and install the workbench from www.i2b2.org.
  • Edit i2b2workbench.properties file and add the following line at the end of the file:

I2b2.2=i2b2demo,REST,http://i2b2.slicer.org:9090/i2b2/rest/PMService/

XNAT

Initially XNAT Central is being used for testing. Optionally, an amazon instance may be set up to run XNAT locally.

See http://xnat.org for more information about XNAT interface, clients, and usage.
